What'a call it?

What do you call a streamer tied on a snelled hook--made from throw-away vinyl painter's gloves, and/or or sandwich bag? The clear sandwich bag stuff in the lower fly is almost transparent in the water. But it does catch the currents, causing the fly to flutter and swim this way and that as you retrieve it.

trojan man.... because it looks a lot like you are fishing a condom. try it ribbed, better action!
I bet it already has a ton of action. AND you can easily color it with marker, AND it looks light as hell.
Nice pattern

It's tied onto the mono. If you wrap the right stuff IN FRONT of the model perfect loop lump,
and then put it a micro-dot of CA glue in the right place, it never slides back. And then there is no long stiff
streamer shank to deaden the action. Then the whole fly moves, end to end.

If you start off much the same way, but then add in some secret spawn sack foundation magic, then you can make this:

RE> I'm doubting the painter's glove claim. I'm with stilly, it looks like a condom.

I thought about calling the top two "rubbers." In fact that's a good idea. I'll have to try using a rubber. Thank you.
That's a stiff idea. Thicker sheets of rubbery material don't move much, while the
thinner stuff really does catch the water, and ripple and move.

But not all snelled hook streamers use plastic (like the sculpin above). So maybe I'll just call them Snellies.

RE> "Littering." I don't necessarily dispute that argument. In fact I have to agree to some degree.
But if you do stand by that complaint, then you have to apply it to foam, crystal flash and all the other synthetic stuff too.
Unless perhaps you just enjoy and revel in inconsistency. )

I wasn't criticizing it. You asked for a name. I thought 103 was clever... I guess not
